GRRM: Game of Thrones Ending Won’t Be ‘That Different’ From the Books

In an interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, author George R.R. Martin spoke about the upcoming Game of Thrones ending, saying he doesn’t think it will be “that different” from the ending of the last two books in his “A Song of Ice and Fire” series.

“I don’t think Dan and Dave’s ending is going to be that different from my ending because of the conversations we did have, but they may be on certain secondary characters, there may be differences. And yeah, some of the people will have that. There will be a debate, I’m sure. I think a lot of people who say, ‘Oh, Dan and Dave’s ending is better than the one George gave us, it’s a good thing they changed it.’ And there will be a lot of people who say, ‘No, Dan and Dave got it wrong, George’s ending is better,’ and they will all fight on the internet. There will be debate, and that’s fine. The worst thing for any work of art, be it movie or art, is to be ignored.”
